If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!
Chapter 27 Newcomers
Aunt Li came very quickly. Just as Meixiang finished her breakfast and picked up her teacup, Meiying took Aunt Li to the gate of Liu's mansion.
After the waiter who also served as the doorman informed, Meiying brought Aunt Li to the beautiful lady and Meixiang.
"Madam, Nanny Chen, this is Aunt Li." Mei Ying introduced the two parties. "Aunt Li, this is the lady of the mansion, and this is Nanny Chen. You have met her, young lady."
"Madam Li Xia greets the Madam and Madam." After bowing respectfully, Aunt Li stood there confidently and allowed the beautiful lady and Madam Chen to look at her. Meixiang just nodded at her when Meiying introduced her at the beginning, and otherwise she just sat there and drank her tea silently. Today was not her home ground, so she just watched.
The clothes were 60% new but very clean, with a scent of soap. Her hair was neatly tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin. Her face was a little nervous but her eyes were firm and not evasive. Her back was straight and her hands were clenched in front of her. Her hands looked a little rough but her nails were neatly trimmed.
Her face also gave people a kind and amiable feeling. No wonder Meixiang liked her, and Meiying's children also liked her. The beautiful woman and Chen Ma Ma nodded secretly in their hearts. After the two looked at each other and exchanged opinions, the beautiful woman said: "Aunt Li, Meiying also mentioned the intention of the mansion to you, right? What do you think?"
Aunt Li was delighted when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face: "The eldest brother told me a little about the situation in the mansion on the way. As long as the lady is willing to accept me, I am willing in my heart."
"As you know, I am the only one left in the family looking after that small wonton stand. If it wasn't the only thing left by the head of the family, and if the eldest brother and his gang of kids came to see me from time to time, I don't know how I would have survived all these years."
Aunt Li's voice choked up as she spoke. Mei Ying raised her hand and gently stroked her back. "I saw the eldest brother and his family a few days ago and learned that they had found a new home. From the way the young lady behaved, I knew that the host family was a kind family. I am really happy for them, but it will be difficult to meet again in the future, especially for the little fifteen who I have watched grow up. I feel empty and lost in my heart."
The beautiful woman signaled Nanny Chen to bring a low stool for her and brewed a cup of tea for her. When Aunt Li was panicking and didn't know what to do, Mei Ying pushed her to sit on the low stool, took the tea bowl handed by Nanny and put it in her hand, "Aunt Li, Madam is a kind person, you don't have to be so reserved."
Aunt Li looked at everyone gratefully, picked up the tea bowl in her hand and took a sip, calmed down and continued, "Thank you, Madam, Madam. When the eldest brother mentioned this today, I don't know how happy I am to be with these children in the future."
"We feel relieved to hear you say that. The population in this mansion is small. After you enter, you will be responsible for the daily life of Meiying, the eldest brother, and the others. Do you want to sign a death contract or a living contract? Do you have any other requirements?" The beautiful woman looked at Aunt Li and asked.
Aunt Li looked at the three women, then looked at Mei Ying who was looking encouraging, then turned to look at Xiao Shiwu who was playing with Xiao Shiqi and the others in the courtyard, and made up her mind: "Madam, I will sign a death contract just like Mei Ying and the others. I have a request, but I wonder if I should tell you or not?"
The beautiful woman and Meixiang looked at each other, and then they heard Meixiang, who was a bystander, say, "Aunt Li, please tell us first. If it's not difficult, we will try our best to satisfy you."
"Miss, you know that I'm alone now, and you've gotten along well with Xiao Shiwu since childhood. I think, if the mansion allows, I would like to adopt Xiao Shiwu as my goddaughter." After saying this, Aunt Li looked at Meixiang and others nervously.
Meixiang and the others were embarrassed. Although Meixiang had some feelings that day, she didn't expect that she would directly bring it up under such circumstances. "It depends on what Meiying and Xiaoshiwu think. If they agree, we will have no problem."
"Aunt Li, can we wait until Xiao Shiwu is a little older and let her decide on her own? The young lady and I have the same idea. As long as Xiao Shiwu agrees, we'll all be happy to see it happen." Mei Ying suggested to her with a smile. He would be so happy to have more people loving Xiao Shiwu that he wouldn't have time to object.
"Okay, Miss, shall we sign the indenture today? And can you give me a day? I'll go back and take care of that wonton stand and come back tomorrow."
"But I have a few words to say first," the beautiful woman glanced at Mei Ying and continued, "Mei Ying has been in the mansion for a while, and she should be suspicious of our identities."
Mei Ying hesitated for a moment and nodded. The beautiful woman continued, "It is not convenient to disclose our specific identities now, but you can rest assured that we are definitely from decent families. You will experience much more with us than you can imagine. We will never treat our own people unfairly."
Seeing Aunt Li nodding repeatedly, Nanny Chen turned into the house and took out the prepared indenture. Meixiang then asked Meiying, Xiaosan and Xiaosi to go to the provincial capital to help Aunt Li.
After the four people left, Meixiang held the indenture in her hand and looked at the beautiful woman and asked uncertainly: "Does this tie us to our future lives? The kind where the master calls for life and death?"
The beautiful lady and Nanny Chen looked at Meixiang in surprise, not understanding why she asked that.
Meixiang sighed inwardly, it seemed that she still had a lot to adapt to. Soon she had no time to worry about these things because Village Chief Liu came.
Village Chief Liu bowed when he saw the beautiful woman. When they first settled in Liujia Village, Nanny Chen, who was by the lady's side, came to visit and took out a token. He took a quick glance and although he was not sure of the specific identities of these people in the Liu Mansion, they were definitely not someone that a small village chief like him could afford to offend.
Fortunately, over the years, the lady in the mansion has always lived in seclusion, the servants have also been well-mannered, and they have lived in peace with the villagers. But I don't know what the reason is for calling him here this time.
"No need to be so polite, village chief. Please sit down and talk." The beautiful woman asked Nanny Chen to stop Village Chief Liu who was about to bow.
Village Chief Liu still insisted on clasping his fists and bowing before thanking him and sitting down. Nanny Chen brought him a bowl of freshly brewed tea at the right time.
"I wonder what instructions Madam has for me today?" Village Chief Liu asked anxiously.
The beautiful woman glanced at the village chief who was sitting in front of her, who was a little restless. Having lived in Liujia Village for the past few years, she had a rough idea of what this villager was like. Although she couldn't say he was very capable, he was worthy of praise. So if the potato trial was successful this time, she wanted to give him a chance to sell it to the higher-ups, as a reward for his care over the years.
